It will be true if people are unwilling to put in a little effort to demand better or stop using windows.

You want your games to run on something else? Don't buy them until they do. Sadly, most people are 100% unwilling to delay that instant gratification and sacrifice even the smallest convenience.

That's how we got here. You cannot expect change if you are unwilling to do anything to make it happen.

This is why sloth is a deadly sin.

That was my first thought, like what the fuck, I don't want my OS creeping on all my shit.

It won't matter, they will serve slop and most people will happily eat it.

A lack of even basic technology literacy hurts everyone so much. Most people have zero clue how their stuff works and zero interest to learn. Its easy to manipulate an ignorant population as we see again and again.

My favorite simple example is "do you shit with the door open? No? OK then privacy does have value--for all involved."

People being lost in the wilderness is not a new problem. It often happens because people don't bother to consider that they might get lost and plan appropriately.

Sorry, but not everyone gets to come home, especially if they don't do a little planning.
